Why Are Truck Crashes More Challenging Cases?
Unfortunately, motor vehicle accidents are common on Texas roadways. Lawyers handle motor vehicle accident cases every day. But trucking accidents involving 18-wheelers, semis, tanker trucks, concrete trucks, and similar big rigs are a different ballgame. They can be much more complex.
- The truck driver, truck maintenance, the truck itself, the load, the schedule—your truck accident attorney in Frisco will need to investigate each of these in order to identify the cause of a truck accident.
- The independent truck driver, the company that hired them, the company that maintains the truck, the company that loaded the truck—each of these companies could have some responsibility.
- If a defective part played a role, then the company that manufactured that part could be at fault. Our law firm has successfully held major manufacturers accountable in product liability cases.
- All of those different companies will have different insurers and may be operating in different states. Learn about insurance considerations after a trucking accident.
Trucking accidents usually involve the most serious injuries: brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and paralysis, loss of limbs from amputation or crush injuries, scars and disfigurement. It’s vitally important that the injured person get the money they will need now and into the future. Your financial compensation should cover:
- Current and future medical care
- Adaptations needed to your home to accommodate disabilities
- Repair or replacement of your vehicle
- Lost wages while you are out of work
- Future loss of income if you can’t go back to work or you go back to a lower-paying job
- Pain and suffering
You have only one chance to get the financial recovery you need. That’s why we are relentless fighters in the courtroom and at the negotiating table. From the very beginning, we prepare your case for trial.
